wow

I just upgraded one of my servers which now has a P4 2.6 ghgz processor and 512 mb of ram and it is running gigabit ethernet. With this processor I tried increasing the RAdmin updates per second to the default of 100. The processor is handling the updates with no problems and I see spikes only to about 20-30% cpu usage. The speed is incredible, I can barely even tell that i'm working remotely. Scrolling is the only time i can tell that i'm working on a remote machine.

I've never seen this kind of speed with RAdmin before. If you guys can, try upgrading to one of the newer P4 processors and you'll see a drastic increase in performance. I've also tried RAdmin on a 3.0 ghgz machine and the result was even better in terms of CPU usage. The bandwidth wasn't as good, however, so i didn't see the speed that i'm using now.

It must have been some sort of fluke before. I tried remoting into that server again with the default of 100 screen updates/second and the CPU usage was consistantly in the 90% range and even hit 100% at a couple points. I guess I have to go back to the 50 updates/second.
